FAQs

Do I need to use the window.ours_consent methods?

For most users, you do not need to use these methods directly. The consent UI and banner handle all standard consent flows for you. These APIs are intended for advanced or custom integration scenarios only.

Is the CMP compliant with GDPR, CCPA, and HIPAA?

Yes, Ours Privacy CMP is designed to help you comply with GDPR, CCPA, HIPAA, and other major privacy regulations. You can configure region-specific rules and consent modes to meet legal requirements.

Can I customize the look and feel of the consent banner?

Absolutely! You can fully customize the text, button labels, and even translations for different regions to match your brand and compliance needs.

How does script blocking work?

The CMP automatically blocks scripts and network requests for services that require consent. You can also manually tag scripts for advanced blocking control. Scripts are only enabled after the user grants consent for the relevant category.

Can I use my own domain for the CMP script?

Yes, you can configure a custom domain to serve the CMP script, ensuring first-party trust and compliance.

How do I test if my implementation is working?

After installing the CMP, load your site and verify the banner appears. Test accepting, rejecting, and managing preferences. You can also use browser developer tools to check that scripts are blocked or enabled based on consent.

Does the CMP support Global Privacy Control (GPC)?

Yes, Ours Privacy CMP automatically detects and honors the GPC signal sent by browsers. If a user has GPC enabled, the CMP allows you to configure how each individual category you have behaves. This helps you comply with CCPA, CPRA, and similar privacy laws.

Removing Cookies on Consent Withdrawal

When users withdraw consent, you may want to remove cookies that were set based on their previous consent choices. Modern browsers have security restrictions that limit cookie deletion capabilities, especially for third-party cookies and HttpOnly cookies. You can only delete cookies set by your domain due to Same-Origin Policy restrictions.
For an example implementation showing how to delete cookies if you need to implement something like this, see this GitHub Gist Guide.
